Exclusive: Just across the East River from Manhattan, New York’s newest purpose-built film and TV production facility is slated to open this spring.
The venue, Borden Studios, will occupy the top floors of a complex on Borden Avenue in the Queens neighborhood of Long Island City.
The privately owned site was built by real estate investment and operating company Innovo Property Group, which is backed by Nan Fung Group. Innovo secured a $435 million refinancing agreement before beginning construction in 2022.
The facility will have four sound stages and 220,000 square feet of production space and is being touted for its location, which is within easy reach of many New York-based industryites. It will soon be joined by East End Studios in Sunnyside, Queens. When East End broke ground last November, Mayor Eric Adams described Western Queens (the section of the borough where East End and Borden sit) as “a worthy rival to Hollywood.
